Neal Brennan On: Talking Back to Your Inner Critic, Why Chasing Validation Doesn't Work, and His Harrowing Psychedelic Journeys

Hey everybody, welcome to the 10% happier podcast. Buckle up, we've got a great episode. My guest today is Neil Brennan, co-creator of a legendary Chappelle Show. He's got three Netflix specials, blocks, three mics, and crazy good. And uh he's the host of his own podcast also called Blocks.

We talk about uh how to overcome malaise, uh, how to talk back to your inner critic and his extremely harrowing psychedelic experiences. This is a really good one. Neil Brennan, welcome to the show. Hello, thanks for having me. I'm a first time in a long time.

Thank you. I appreciate that. Right back at you. Actually, I once stood next to you at a urinal at a wedding and was so excited, but I had to hold myself back from saying something to you because it would have been incredibly I feel like it would be massively douchey of me to say whose wedding, so I'm not gonna say it.
